I did it. You all should be SO proud. It was really hard and I was WICKED nervous. I decided after the fact that I rather give another speech in my 6th grade class then do this ever again.
Well I am not nannying anymore. Donna, the mom was treating me like a worthless piece of crap and I am not exaggerating when I say that. She would yell at me ALL the time. Anything I ever did was NEVER enough. I could do 90549543934 things right but if I did one wrong she was PISSED at me. So I quit last night. I would not recommend that job to anyone ever. Even if I hated the person, they even deserve better.
After she paid me for the last 2 weeks I said 'So I have been thinking a lot and praying (lots and lots of praying) and then thinking some more. I am not happy working here, So I am quitting. I tried to make it work for the kids. But it is not working.' Then SHE had the guts to say 'We are not happy either. But you cannot just quit, you have to give us notice, so 2 more weeks.' I said 'That's fine' And walked out.
When I got into the car I got to thinking YOU are not happy? I do EVERYTHING for you. I take all the crap YOU dish me and do not say anything back. If for reals this is truth that she is not happy with me, she will not be happy with anyone. She needs a reality check. This is NOT Texas or London. She just moved here with 4 young children. She needs help and she should be thankful for what she has.
I have decided that some people will never be happy no matter what you do for them. I have been too nice. It is time I watch out for myself and not others. If she is rude to me these next 2 weeks I am gone and not coming back. She needs my help. I do not need her or her money so she can just keep it. It has been hard enough just getting my bum out of bed this last week.
So I guess I am looking for a new job. I am not ready to hurry into one. I want to go to the beach about one hundred million times before I start up work again. But by the time school starts in August I would be okay if I had a job. We will see what happens though. I will keep you in check, do not worry.
I know this was totally hard for you because you are not a quitter. You are right, some people are never happy. And as selfish as it sounds, you need to keep yourself in situations/environments where you are happy. But, never pass up the chance to serve others. It's a tricky balance. You are amazing, Kaleigh.
